30 Jan 2014 I took the Taste of Marrakech: Inside the Medina tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a keen foodie and an accomplished cook - I did toy with a cookery class but this was so much more interesting because our guide Mustafa was incredibly knowledgeable and put everything about Moroccan food into the cultural context, such as why men only cook a few certain things and women do the rest. In just over three hours we walked all over the medina - we learned about the spices, saw mechoui being cooked in a pit and bread being baked in a communal oven... Along the way we tasted olives and preserved lemons, pastries and sweets, savoury doughnuts, ate tanjia and drank Berber tea (all food is included in the price). Mustafa is charm personified - all in all a fantastic evening and I came away feeling I'd had proper insight into Morocco's culinary culture. Highly recommended if, like me, you're a foodie!

21 Oct 2013 This was, without a doubt the highlight of our recent trip to Marrakesh. From the friendly, engaging hosts to the course venue, it was excellent. We were expecting more of an interactive experience with actually purchasing the product, but we were thrilled when we mentioned this, the host Mr Badi took us to the spice market where he purchases his own spices and then negotiated a locals rate for us! The food and instruction was fantastic - I would highly recommend this add on to any visit to Marrakesh. Thank you!

23 Sep 2013 After strong warnings from you regarding fake guides we were very surprised that the guide you sent us did not have any Urban Adventure identification whatsoever.

05 Sep 2013 Mustafa was an excellent guide. I'm not usually a fan of tours but this was a small group and really interesting. Great to get off the tourist trail and get an insight into local food culture.

13 Nov 2012 This was one of the highlights of my trip to Morocco. Karima was great. Shopping was great. The guest house we cooked at was great. The food turned out great. I am so glad I did this instead of going on another tour of tombs or mosques or other things. This felt like a real experience and I really enjoyed it.

The Marrakech Urban Adventure team are knowledgeable & passionate about their home town - the "Red City". From the bustling souks of the medina, to the palaces and monuments, the tajines, mint tea and cous cous to all of those 'out of the way' places that few tourists get to see.
